na karwan ka hamare koi nishan raha
na ham-safar na hi kashti na baadban raha

zamin apni taraf khinchti rahi mujh ko
sawar sar pe sada mere aasman raha

mujhe khabar thi gaya tha tu ghair se milne
main jaan-bujh ke mahfil mein be-zaban raha

tamam umr musallat raha wo dil pe mere
tamam umr main zalim ka mezban raha

hua na qaid-e-zaman-o-makan se main aazad
zamin se dur magar zer-e-asman raha

sharik wo bhi tha mere khilaf sazish mein
ki jis ke sath sada mera khan-pan raha

na dil mein jalti hui aag bujh saki 'abid'
na sar pe mere kabhi koi saeban raha
